Beer Memories
After perusing the delightfully cheap shelves of B&M Bargains I happened across some bottles of Double Maxim. This instantly took me back to being about 18 and drinking my own body weight in it each night at the Ivy House in Sunderland.

What drinks take you back to being a young'un?

Alt Q: Young'uns - what did you first get pissed on? Mine was Strongbow cider

The corner shop in Clifton used to do deals on it as well and had no issue selling to 13/14 year olds. It was flipping awesome.

My folks fed me sangria on holiday once. I had no idea what was going on.
They found it hilarious until about 2am when I vomited spectacularly all over our rented villa and then curled up into a weeping, shaking, sticky ball in the corner.

I thought it was food poisoning until a couple of years ago when they told me the truth.

My parents used to "force" us to try wine, but I didn't like it.

When my father was a kid, the normal little meal between lunch and dinner for him was a bowl of red wine with sugar and half a baggette, to dunk it in. He loved it.

I think it's an important thing to do with kids,
if you go "NO NEVER DRINK WINE" they'll just get hammered as soon as they can buy it themselves.
The french put wine and water in the babies bottles to "help them sleep" which basically means to shut them up for a couple of hours.

Yes, we do similar things in Spain
Like dunking the pacifier on some congac. It works wonders.

I think you're right. If you see the alcohol as a tabu, you go for it everytime you can sneak it. If it's just part of the normal life, you have it when you feel like having it.

I drank an entire litre of Smirnoff Blue when I was about 15, and woke up under someone's lawn sprinkler at one point.

When I finally got it together to try to get home I discovered that professional 'shock jock' and breakfast radio 'personality' Christian O-fucking-Connell had burnt my socks on the fire so I had to walk 3 miles in army boots with no socks on, alcohol poisoning and a veneer of vomit coating my entire being. Soaked to the skin from the sprinkler, too.

Strongbow to both questions
When I was 17 some mates and I trawled Nottingham's bars looking for somewhere that would serve us. We ended up in RKO's and for reasons known best to myself I purchased a four-pint pitcher of cider. We were then remonstrated with for setting fire to matchsticks in an ashtray and I was told to get a fucking move on with said booze. I polished off about 3-and-a-half pints in just under an hour, by which point we were sufficiently blotto to feel above the law, so I ordered another.

Malibu & 7up

Beer in Tenerife is not very good, although it's improving, but it was cheaper to buy bottles of spirits and drink them on the street. Arehucas-Cola was a big one, but I hate Coke, so no for me.

Oh, well
If people keeps not replying or saying no, we'll have to invite some b3tans over. Is it bad manners here to invite someone only after you've realised that you have some room left? Will you be happy to travel to Tenerife on January?

And a 4th place of how many? Sounds quite impressive, unless it was only 4 participating. What did you do?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 16 Sep 2010, 10:57, Reply)

Tenerife or Norwich... in January. I'm sure I'll cope
Unless it's the second weekend of the month, in which case we'll be at another competition in Blackpool!

There were 17 couples competing and they all had to win a regional competition to qualify, like we did, so there were no completely hopeless types which made it all the sweeter. We came 4th in Ballroom and had to dance Waltz and Quickstep to do so. Our (well, my) Latin remains bobbins, sadly.

Invitations aside, how are preparations going?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 16 Sep 2010, 11:01, Reply)

But yes, it's the second weekend of January, so sorry.

You must feel quite smug now. Being 4th out of 17 is pretty good. Now, to practise your salsas and tangos! Or maybe sevillanas?

Two days ago the photographer cancelled, so I spent yesterday trying to find another. We haven't signed contracts with the Finca or the catering service yet, because... I don't know why... they don't have them ready... We don't know yet the price of the menu (we have an idea, but have made quite a lot of changes)... and it's less than 4 months to go.

Good strategising.
Actually, you could probaly make a living by hiring yourselves out to perform first dances on other people's behalf, as it does seem to cause undue stress. The happy couple could then follow you with something they can just jump about to in a non self concious way.

Did that once
Choreographed a Rumba for some friends to "As The World Falls Down" from Labyrinth. You read that correctly. Bizzarely some other friends are having exactly that as their first dance. It's not ideal as the timing is slightly quicker than a strict tempo Rumba. Bloody amateurs

DMT is not a party drug.
It's closer to a religious vision and not to be taken lightly.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 16 Sep 2010, 11:39, Reply)

The more I hear of this DMT stuff the less inclined I am to indulge
As I was saying to bobby the other day, my hedonistic MASSIVE DRUGS days are well and truly behind me, to the extent that InFest weekend was a remarkably isolated incident over the course of the last 18 months. so it'd probably kill me

/end clever ploy to encourage Monty to get me some DMT

I have to say it's the most incredible substance I've ever taken.
Like taking about 100 hits of LSD - for about 5 minutes.

I am faintly evangelical about it. Each time I have smoked it, it's done me the power of good. Really good for positive mental outlook and a general feeling of wellbeing. When it wears off you see the world afresh -but there's also a definite element of being relieved that you are 'back in the room' too.

Reading the chemistry behind it
looks quite interesting. Like I said above I stick to weed and mushrooms. I want to try opium but have never met anyone who can get me any.

Just to keep it topical
I seem to remember I was about 12 years old when I first experienced the delightful taste of Bishop's Finger.

I didn't get to try proper beer until I was 26!

I did have the advantage of growing up in the right country for proper beer
And a father who was keen that I should acquire the taste for grown-up beer by the time I was grown up.

My father tried to teach me about wine
But they only drink the very old, very dry ones, which are awful for a first time. Now I don't like most red wines :(

try some rose
and some smooth reds like shiraz merlot blends etc... A young light red from a colder climate ie France will have slightly less alc than one from a hot climate so should be easier drinking

You're missing out.
I had a £30 Chateauneuf de Pape at dinner on Tuesday that was so tasty it was all I could to not to start speaking in tongues and masturbating.

I must confess I wasn't keen on Rioja the first time I tried it - I thought it was more than a little 'old-sock-y'.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 16 Sep 2010, 11:33, Reply)

I got given a box of 12 of that when I left my recruitment job. Still sat at home.
I am not a fan of wine.

I am planning to give it away as presents to be honest.

My brother and his tall mate had managed to get served in the local Spar. We stood about on the school playground on cold nights drinking freezing cold beer and looking shifty.

Give it a couple of years and I'll be back doing the same.
